Getting an Australian Visa

People holidaying in Australia must seek a visitor visa (tourist class) from the Australian High Commission. Australia offers visitors a visa that lasts three months or one that lasts for six months. If you are issued with a three month visa the holder must enter within 12 months from the date of issue. However, if you receive a six-month visa then the holder may enter within four years from the date of issue, or before the passport expires, whichever occurs first. Australia has very strict rules on overstaying so it is vital that applicants do not fall into an overstay situation.
